Prager now appears next to the definition of moron in the dictionary.

"An Islamic civil rights group Wednesday called on President Bush to rescind the appointment of a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum board member who criticized an incoming congressman, Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress."[snip]"So Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, sent Bush a letter on Wednesday asking for Prager's removal."

Prager activates the 'They are all out to get me!" defense:"In a telephone interview, Prager argued that CAIR was waging the campaign against him because of critical things he said about the group, not what he wrote about Ellison.

"CAIR is afraid of me, and that is the reason," he said. "I never said a word or wrote a word against the Quran or Islam."

CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper responded: "Until this controversy arose, we were not aware of any reference Mr. Prager made about CAIR.""
